Cambodia girlfriend requirements to visit thailand

This is where our community discusses almost anything! While we're mainly a Cambodia expat discussion forum and talk about expat life here, we debate about almost everything. Even if you're a tourist passing through Southeast Asia and want to connect with expatriates living and working in Cambodia, this is the first section of our site that you should check out. Our members start their own discussions or post links to other blogs and/or news articles they find interesting and want to chat about. So join in the fun and start new topics, or feel free to comment on anything our community members have already started! We also have some Khmer members here as well, but English is the main language used on CEO. You're welcome to have a look around, and if you decide you want to participate, you can become a part our international expat community by signing up for a free account.

My Khmer gf has been living here in Phuket on tourists visas, visa exempts, visa extensions, Non B visa with wp and now on a L-A migrant work 2 year visa with wp since 2010
NEVER had an trouble with any thai police Anywhere in the country and we have traveled everywhere by car and entered/ exited by every Thai/Cambodian border( more than once some of them) , Malaysia/Thai border and 3 Laos/Thai land borders
Police have never been to our house or where she works
Only hassle was each time she entered /left Cambodia had to pay 100 baht :-)

Also know other khmers that have had zero trouble. Not to say it doesn't happe,n but sounds like for whatever reason you had bad luck

If u were married why than was she using tourist visas as u could easily gotten her attached to ur non o or b visa --- unless of course u were living here on a tourist visa as well
